<\/p>\nProfessor Angela M. Zombek has just published a new article in\u00a0Civil War History<\/i>. This prestigious Kent State University publication offers academics the opportunity to publish peer-reviewed articles on the history of the US Civil War. Her article, entitled\u00a0Paternalism and Imprisonment at Castle Thunder:\u00a0Reinforcing Gender Norms in the Confederate Capital,\u00a0<\/i>deploys gender analysis to explore how Confederate officials at the Castle Thunder Prison in Richmond utilized imprisonment as a method in forcing male and female prisoners to behave and act according to prevailing cultural norms. Therefore, incarceration should be seen as one of the components that were exploited to help maintain the conservative cultural order, especially in the South. However, her research also captures how Union troops were also culpable in applying the same tactics. Once Union troops captured Castle Thunder from the Confederacy, they also utilized harsh imprisonment tactics to preserve the social order.<\/p>\n
